BUT! Tomorrow is Friday and that means I'm heading downtown again for another "Sunset on the Hudson" concert. And then the next day, Saturday, I'll be back home at "The Hill" in Central Park for another afternoon of music and laughs, hangin' with all of you who are here in town.
After being out of the stream for a couple of days, I feel like I've jumped back in the river and I'm goin' with the flow.
Tellin' you... I haven't been swimmin' against the stream for years. I used to, but that gets you nowhere. Goin' with it is a whole lt easier and you get new places a whole lot faster. But every now and then Life has a way of makin' everyone feel like they've been kicked up onto the shore for a little while. It happens. It's cool. It's always my choice to dive back in.
So here we go.
HEY! Hot, hot, rainy day in NYC today. But I have a feeling this weekend is going to be a picture-perfect summer weekend.

Here's a little photo gallery of our summer so far. It's growing every week thanks to people like Sean Friedman, Mary Saliba, Jaan Lutter, Mike Lancaster and others who send in their work... especially Laura Manske!)

Okay, for anyone who's new around here... go back through the Archive and catch up a little. And here are a few videos to make you smile.
As much as I love writing songs, I get an even bigger charge from watching you guys smile and hearing you singin' the words to many of my original songs. What a blast!
As you may know I am producing a documentary about "That Guitar Man from Central Park". I would like to ask all David's fans out there to write me and tell me any stories you may have about David and his playing in Central Park and how it has affected you or what it has meant to you. I've already heard some great stories, but I know there are more that I haven't heard. So if you got a story to tell about David and his music, please briefly write it out and send it to stories@thatguitarman.com . I will be contacting people from the stories submitted to interview them for possible inclusion in the film. Thank you and I look forward to seeing everyone on the hill this summer. - Dean
